Humility Amidst Imperfection

Marriage is not a relationship of perfection. We all say words or act in ways that hurt our spouse. A key is owning up when we miss our mate's heart. This is easier said than done. Julie at fidlerontheroof gives a wonderful expample of what this looks like in her post, Delusions of Adequacy. She shares honestly and openly about her sin and acting out a woman's primary sin of controlling (primary sin for men is avoiding). She then finds something deeper and more true inside her heart. She enters into a holy presence, has the courage to speak from it and reconnects with her husband.
